So I shop around to get some bits and pieces for a good home made meal, and I notice some items say, a pack of vegan burgers, these are more expensive than regular burgers!
I’m not a vegan but I’m curious as to why these items are priced as such, it’s a bit of a pain for people who can only eat gluten free food as those items are priced high too. The bread we get for me grandpapa is pricey for what you get.
Is it different production methods that make it pricey? You’d think with healthier, easier to get ingredients would be cheaper than producing regular non vegan items.
which is what most people need to transition to a vegan diet without having to spend a massive amount of time and energy to relearn how to cook.
i’m really not a fan of this semi-elitism that goes “just eat beans and rice!!”, living on only that is utterly fucking depressing and that should be obvious.
It’s not elitism… It just costs more to turn food into something it isn’t than it does to turn it into something it is.
If I wanted to make a bag of beefroccoli to help vegans transition into eating meat, it would cost a fortune!
